Now that the 3 has stop start, I wonder what sort of systems run the AC and heat while at a traffic light. I would imagine an electric AC compressor and circulation of heating water with the existing electric water pump.

Anyone read the hood opening procedure. It states that you have to pul the lever twice to open the hood. The first pull releases the "engine" and the second pull allows the hood to be opened. Never seen this before on any other vehicle

Not sure what type, but in the manual in page 60 it says air flow is reduced....
